@ajcooke01 Let’s break this down for an easier discussion. You have some very unrealistic expectations. “in my eyes a moderator should be contributing at least once a week “ your eyes need to focus on reality. We are all volunteers. We have real jobs with real families and a real life. What we are doing here is above and beyond all of this. We are all volunteers. Being a moderator is a true honor for me. I am honored by the trust and respect that iFixit as an organization and my colleagues on here have shown me. Nobody ever has or should demand any certain time or hours that we need to be here. You Sir, have not been here long enough to have these types of expectations. “This user has not contributed since August 4th. They have only contributed twice since 2015 which is alarming because this user is basically wasting a moderator position. “ @pollytintop has busted her butt at a time when you were still in grade school. She is one of the original moderators on here and I have nothing but respect for her skills...

@ajcooke01 we already have this. It’s called Remove as Spam/Offensive. It does not matter why it was spam or offensive for as long as it was. No reason to reinvent the wheel.

@saturn these are repair guides, not tutorials. Any user can create a repair guide which will help someone to repair their device. It would be impossible to link to all repair parts within these guides. You will find that guides that were written by iFixit staff are the ones that have most of the parts listed, since iFixit deals with those.

We are all crying like a bunch of little kids. Can we please give this a chance and see what it is all about? I understand that this is probably going to increase email traffic. We need to understand that this is not about us. It is about the iFixit community as a whole. It is not about a few people not liking it. We should consider those that will benefit from this. So, if it increases my email and I have a problem with that, then I need to fix it. Either by redirecting ifixit emails to a different folder or unsubscribing from the question/ifixit notification.

@blakeklein this one is not as soothing as the name implies. Needs to be gone https://www.ifixit.com/User/2625808/Cham...

@refectio I think the best way would be to leave an answer that is non-commital to any particular software, or to mark the question as “Not repair related”. In my opinion any question that is only focused on data recoverery is not anything that we can answer on here. Those are “Not Repair related”

@danj I do not think we need any extra buttons on the menu for the few times that this happens. Most OP’s do not update their questions but post it as an answer or a comment at best. WE then convert those to updates. Instead of doing so we should accept it as an answer. https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/5095... fixed, accepted, DONE

@blakeklein this one has been here entirely to long https://www.ifixit.com/User/2544494/elde...

@reedcrosby I wholeheartedly agree with @refectio and do moderate to that. If it has a sliver of a possible answer, I leave it. You'll find that some comments left as answers contain a lot of blah, blah, blah psychobabble and do not offer any answer, those go into comments. If it only shows a request for clarification I moderate it to a comment. Best is to subscribe to the discussion as suggested by @blakeklein
